Peak Weed

I am way more worried about buddy driving down the street under the influence of pharmas than I would ever be worried about the stoner down the street. You can just see the limits on THC content oozing from that article....just like you can't buy anything stronger than 151 proof...still won't stop people from trying to grow the most potent mj they can.

this is comical to me, the only thing i have seen the price drop on in my life time on anything not outdated is when the housing market crashed. Cannabis is a commodity, prices never drop. look at oil, they say it is almost bottomed out but it is still $2 more then i remember starting to drive........ hell of a bottom.
perhaps you've heard of peak oil, well peak weed is coming too.. that is the point in the future when so many folks are getting into commercial growing that they end up flooding the market and bringing the price down to near nil.. think of all the other agricultural fads gone wrong like emus, llamas, ginseng, etc etc etc.. where a bunch of folks get an idea in their head at the same time and then there's a mad rush and soon a stampede.. try giving a llama away nowadays lol.. in the end we will win..
ginseng is not a drug, grow some tobacco its legal, but try and give or sell any of it and ur gonna probably go to jail for manufacturing and distribution of a controlled substance. my vist to Denver showed me legal seems to kill the black market in areas were it is legal. tho u will have tohose that cater to non legal places/
You can grow all the free ginseng you want. I betcha a farmer would give you some if you wanted to try some...free. Same way I give away apples and plums from my trees. The monetary value comes through commercialization. If I choose to grow my full 49 plant allotment, I would have more than enough to share, either sell to help with costs or give away to those in need. The recreational retail market would be pricey and taxed...but your garden isn't. If the governments goal is to collect taxes, they would be defeating their purpose by having higher prices than the BM. The BM has done fine for a long time...legal will have to be competitive.

I don't know about your perspective but from my perspective what was a $5000 AAA lb (inflation adjusted figure) in 1995 is now going for $2000..

it must be interesting being a kid growing up in the midst of re-legalization.. I wonder with the level of cannabis consciousness proliferating in the mass media if we will see in the next generation a noticeable increase in the number of aspiring weed farmers and their collective cultivation sophistication..

I see less kids smoking pot... maybe its just the kids around me....not sure.
We started early..
I'm not seeing the same attitude towards drinking or pot for that matter.

Drinking and smoking killed both my parents.
Thankfully, I stopped drinking at 30 and smoking too.
I just can't see my kids wanting to drink and smoke.
We were able to at least warn them and both know they have no Grandparents because of smoking and drinking.


How are you supposed to believe that either one is bad when BOTH of your parents do it and all of their friends around them.....?

I guess there are differences depending on where you live, but in most places I've lived in Canada, the bm price has stayed the same or dropped over the last 35 years. I paid $25 for an eighth of weed in 1979...the same price it is now. My reference to ginseng was meant to compare natural health products, which cannabis should be, not classified as a drug. I can grow 15 kg of tobacco and give it all away...but not weed, yet tobacco kills thousands every year, weed...not so much. I can grow acres of grapes and make wine, I can sell it with a simple $150 business license. Alcohol is the biggest killer among all drugs. The Denver bm problem you mention supplying other jurisdictions is a made in the USA issue. Legal weed in Canada is going to come as a nationwide law, every Canadian will have the same opportunity to grow or buy, who will use the bm? Just my take on it....

The only way the bm will survive legalization is if they only let lp's sell weed. Shit quality will mean the bm continues and flourishes. If we get a Colorado/Washington type legalization it could kill the bm. Go check on leafley or weedmaps what the price get gram or oz of aaaa goes for in those states. It's coming down but the bm here is still cheaper.

I dont think the price is really going to come down.
At least not for top shelf.
I started slingin in highschool and the first qp i bought was $500. That was 20yrs ago. The price of a top shelf qp in my hood now $5-700.
Yet everyone claims the prices are dropping lol.
The prices in colorado are ridiculous through legal outlets so u really think that the bm guys there arent still selling the dank for the same price they were before legalization?
Doesnt matter how many people grow it or how much they grow. It will always come back to how its grown. Unloved commercial cash crops will never kill the top shelf bm

In March I was in la. Smoked the best of the best from the best dispensary(daddy's pipes and collective if you care to know) everything they sell is $20 a gram and oz' range from $400-320. Top notch weed that's for sure but those prices are insane. I don't mind paying crazy prices like that on vacation but if I lived there I couldn't afford to go there 99% of the time.

The best thing to come out of legalization and the changes in mj is that its been an easy ten yrs since ive seen that flat seedy brown shit that was full of seed. We used to call it jamaican but it was probably from mexico.
Made lp weed look amazing.
Cant believe i used smoke that shit wasnt even a trich in the whole bag lol
